My feeling about semantics may be correct. Arguing last night with Jean Malaquais<ref>A Polish Jew (real name Vladimir Malacki) whose parents perished in the Holocaust, [[w:Jean Malaquais|Malaquais]] (1909-98) was a veteran of the Spanish Civil War. {{NM}} has often said that Malaquais influenced him intellectually more than anyone else. They met in Paris in 1947 and became close friends a year later when Malaquais was translating ''[[The Naked and the Dead]]'' into French. Malaquais and his first wife Galy lived with the Mailers when they spent a year in Hollywood, 1949-50. During their time together, Malaquais, who wrote several novels, informally tutored NM on leftist thought and the history of the Russian Revolution. See NM’s “[[My Friend, Jean Malaquais]],” an introduction to Malaquais’s 1954 novel, ''The Joker'', rpt., ''[[Pieces and Pontifications]]''. | My feeling about semantics may be correct.
